System Pics 2016

Hard times, Nigel. Who knows maybe one of these days I'll be able to afford a pair of socks and take some proper pics. 

Tony,

Is your Reel to Reel a Revox B77 ?

Whats the longest recording you can get out of 1 spool of tape,I take it as running on 2 speeds ?

I am a bit of a cassette fan but always hankered after a Reel to Reel.

Hope all is well with you mate

Cheers Ian

CD3.5 + Flatcap were sold and i bought Chord Mojo ;-)

How does the mojo sound.

Exzellent. Better as Naim cd3.5 + flatcap.

Ian,

7 1/2 and 15ips. You get roughy 30 mins at 15ips and double that at 7 1/2ips. Recoding is on a par with vinyl depending on source of course. Hard to find original recordings at that speed and the re-releases from Tape Project are expensive new and extremely rare s/h.

I'm still looking for a replacement for my CR3 and i do miss it.

Hope all is well with you too.

Tony

Thanks for the picture Tony loved those spools  - gives it a bit of drama ! 

Are you still on the lookout for a replacement for your CR 3.I remember you where going to buy a 680 Z but the sale fell threw ?

A Sony Walkman professional might be a good buy.I have seen them on The Bay for £150 in good condition.Mine is still sounding ok after 30 years !  If you can get a mintish one I think you would be well pleased.If not it's got to be a Nak of maybe a Aiwa F770 or F990.

Cheers Ian

Great machines! I had a couple to work with and miss them!

Dragon? Anyone?

 

 

 

Think Kev W will post us some of his stunning Dragon pics..... a piece of kit on par with his new avatar..... beautiful ......

No Dragon here but I still have a functioning Walkman Pro which delighted my daughter when Guardians of the Galaxy was released. Awesome Mix Vol 1 was in the deck, on her chair for her birthday, recorded from the LP of the soundtrack. Awesome indeed!

If I knew how to post pictures, given my post about my recent theft, I'd post a pick of my empty rack.... I'm trying very hard to keep a sense of humour in all of this...

Hi John,

Beautiful, elegant. One of those rare shots that make HiFi look like a real part of domestic life.

Hi, RSCH,

I too run a CD555 in my main system, but am unlikely sell my CD5X -- it is so very good, especially for the price, these days.
